New year, same crazy schedule.
But just because you’re short on time, doesn’t mean you can’t grab delicious, healthy food at affordable prices. Vancouver has many convenient over-the-counter options for those who aren’t willing to sacrifice good nutrition to stay on schedule.
Here are nine Vancouver spots where you can get healthy grab-and-go fast food.
1. SMAK
SMAK fuels Vancouver with healthy fast food from its two locations with smoothies, oatmeal, salads, hot bowls, soups, protein boxes and a variety of other organic, vegetarian, dairy and gluten free options. This place has a variety of light options along with hearty meals like chili and chicken curry.

2. MELU
While MELU is known for its smoothies and cold-pressed juices, it also has a ‘solids’ menu full of healthy, filling meal options. With a handful of salads and dishes like the “Undercover Spaghetti” and “Undercover Curried Rice” (both vegetarian), and a hot menu full of build-your-own-hot-bowl options, MELU is a great place to head for a quick bite on the go.
